About

Pester is the ubiquitous test and mock framework for PowerShell. Adding Pester tests to Powershell code will enhance code quality and allows you to start creating predictable changes. Visual Studio Code comes with full support for Pester allowing you to create tests quickly. Pester integrates nicely with TFS, Azure, Github, Jenkins, and other CI servers, allowing you to fully automate your development lifecycle. Pester provides a framework for writing and running tests. Pester is most commonly used for writing unit and integration tests, but it is not limited to just that. It is also a base for tools that validate whole environments, computer deployments, database configurations, and so on. Pester tests can execute any command or script that is accessible to a Pester test file. This includes functions, Cmdlets, Modules, and scripts. Pester can be run locally, where it integrates well with Visual Studio Code, and it can of course be integrated into a build script in a CI pipeline.

About

PowerShell is a cross-platform task automation and configuration management framework, consisting of a command-line shell and scripting language. Unlike most shells, which accept and return text, PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), and accepts and returns .NET objects. This fundamental change brings entirely new tools and methods for automation. Unlike traditional command-line interfaces, PowerShell cmdlets are designed to deal with objects. An object is structured information that is more than just the string of characters appearing on the screen. Command output always carries extra information that you can use if you need it. If you've used text-processing tools to process data in the past, you'll find that they behave differently when used in PowerShell. In most cases, you don't need text-processing tools to extract specific information. You directly access portions of the data using standard PowerShell object syntax.
